Generative AI - Alt Text and other AI Features
These features should be turned off by default. Most users do not want generated content being automatically inserted into production documents without review or approval. If users do want AI assistance, it should be opt-in, with clear choices such as:
Generate descriptions for all images
Generate descriptions for selected images only
Approve descriptions on a case-by-case basisI do not think automatically inserting generated content into live production files is a good approach.
In real-world workflows especially regulated, accessibility, publishing, legal, pharmaceutical, or corporate environments every word often needs to be reviewed, approved, and sometimes audited. AI-generated alt text can…
29 votesGenerative Alt Text is an opt-out experience and is turned ON by default. The first time an image is placed, InDesign informs you that it could be turned off with a clear CTA.
Closing this as As Designed.

Expand Support for Typesetting in Arabic and Other Right-to-Left Languages
My company does a lot of design work that has to do with getting information about public health and safety to audiences for whom English is not a first language. Clear, careful communication of these topics and issues to all people—in their native languages—is essential. It ensures that everyone has the same access to information about their health and well-being.
When we translate our designs, that often includes languages that read from right to left, like Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew. However, there is currently no reasonable method for working with right-to-left text in InDesign for designers who work with both…

Reset the “Table Options > Alternating Fill” for each frame
"Table Options > Fills > Alternating Fill" is very useful.
However, if the table spans multiple frames, the next frame may start with the color of the second line.
This specification is of great significance for instantly judging odd/even numbers in a row, but sometimes it is not desirable if it is simply for visual purposes.For example, like the header option "Once per Frame", the next frame/page requests an additional option that allows you to apply the color set as the first line.
Of course, it covers rows, columns, fillss, and strokes evrything.<にほんご>

Remove all alt text
Like everyone, I was affected by the recent bug masquerading as a feature that added a ton of unwelcome AI alt text to every image that I didnt ask for and don't need. Now I have to go through image by image if I want it all out? One of these documents has over 2000 links. I NEED a way to remove all alt text easily. I didn't want it to begin with! Shameful this "feature" shipped at all, let alone without an easy undo! Are you THAT desperate to get your AI adoption number up? Guess so!

Title Case button (and options) in the Control Panel
After adding the much appreciated Lower Case button in the Control Panel there is an awkward empty space there. It would be great to add the Title Case button there as it is a widely used application of case styling.
Along with the button it would be good to have options for the title case that could be opened with an ALT/OPT-click on the Title case button. This would be great in conjunction with FR https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601021-adobe-indesign-feature-requests/suggestions/37521424-improve-title-case
Having the possibility to exclude certain words from the title case is needed as there are several styles of how to write Title Case: …

Disable feature annoucements and in app ads
Please add a simple, consistent option to the preferences of all Adobe desktop apps to permanently disable notifications about additional features and ads within the desktop apps!
For paying Pro subscribers, it is more than unprofessional to be annoyed by unwanted pop-ups and notifications while working!
In my opinion, subscribing to the newsletter or getting updates about new features on the home screen is enough to stay up to date.

見開きドキュメントのノド側に塗りたしを追加したい
PUR製本など見開きの良い製本を行う場合、ミーリングとしてノド側にも塗りたしを作成する必要があります。そうしないと見開きで絵柄が繋がっている場合は良いのですが、センターで絵柄が切り替わる場合に、印刷用に面付を行った時に、ミーリング部分に対抗ページのノド部分が出てきてしまい段差になってしまいます。現状そのままでは塗りたしを追加することが出来ないので、ドキュメントページの移動を許可のチェックを外し、ページパレットで見開きページを片方ずつ交互にずらしたのち、それぞれのページに塗りたしを追加しています。ただこれを行うと見開きとしてのレイアウトプレビューが出来ない、スプレッドでPDF書き出しが出来ないなどの不都合が起こります。なので必要に応じてノドのミーリング部分のアキをオンオフ出来るような機能があるととてもありがたいです。

Add a CAI Content Authenticity panel to let users check image provenance
It would be helpful to have a CAI (Content Authenticity Initiative) panel in InDesign to allow users to check the "Cr" content credentials on placed images.
(Adobe is one of the founders of CAI, so it should be implemented in all Adobe tools.)

pdf intelligenti
Attualmente, chi esporta un PDF deve decidere tutto prima: pagine singole o affiancate, con o senza crocini, ecc. Il problema è che spesso chi riceve il file non specifica cosa vuole, e se sbagliamo l'esportazione non va bene.
Non sarebbe fantastico se InDesign potesse generare un PDF in cui è chi riceve il file a scegliere come vederlo? Ad esempio, con dei semplici tasti per attivare o disattivare i crocini di taglio o per passare dalle pagine singole alle affiancate.
Sarebbe una svolta: noi designer invieremmo un solo file "completo" e il destinatario potrebbe adattarlo alle sue esigenze con un…

"Print Booklet" needs option to export to pdf instead of just postscript
Print designers need the option to export as print spreads, which is currently only available as a postscript file. Adobe's distiller is no longer up to the task of easily converting files to pdf, plus it's an extra step that should be built in natively to InDesign. Yes, many printers do this after receiving your file but some print shops ask for print spreads to be delivered to them. This should have been baked into a print layout program from the beginning.

拗促音（小仮名）へのルビの文字かけを許容するオプションの追加
現在、InDesignのルビ設定「文字かけ処理」では、「無制限」以外のすべての設定において、拗促音（小仮名）への文字かけが許容されない仕様となっています。 しかし、実際の日本語組版、特に縦組みの文芸書においては、拗促音への文字かけが強く求められています。この仕様のために、組版作業において大きな支障が生じています。
提案
- デフォルトの動作は「許容しない」ままとする（既存の仕様を維持）
- 環境設定に、ドキュメントのデフォルトを「許容する」に変更できるオプションを新設する
理由
- 既存の仕様である「許容しない」は、互換性維持の観点からデフォルトのままとすべき
- 「許容する」設定は、個々のルビ設定で変更するのではなく、ドキュメントごとのデフォルトとして設定できるようにするのが望ましい。そのため、環境設定で制御できる形が適切である

[ID-4274018] Locate Object and Search Filter for Layers Panel
It would be really useful to have a Locate Object (magnifier glass) at the bottom of the Layes Panel (like we find in Illustrator).

Better visibility for table border selection (Stroke panel)
When editing table borders in the Stroke panel, the small preview grid that represents the cell borders is very hard to see and use. The active line selection is indicated by a very thin and pale blue highlight, which is almost invisible on high-resolution or bright displays.
This makes it difficult to tell which borders are selected or to accurately click on them. The hit area for these lines is also extremely narrow, which further reduces usability.
It would be a major improvement if the highlight: had stronger color contrast or adjustable color (for example, a red or darker highlight),…7 votes -
export multiple PDFs (different presets) at once from one InDesign file
When I package a file for print, I often need to export an additional "Smallest File Size" PDF as well. Would be great if that could be done with a single export.

Preference to Disable the Contextual Menus (annoying pop ups), lag issue
- Preference to DISABLE the Contextual Menues! Pros don’t need spam like tutorials poppig up while working, it’s annoying and awful disturb the concentration while the work, disturb also the speed of the program. Please.
- Option (On-Off) to disable Ai function, which is probably a big part of the reason for the program leggs. There are still a lot of people which don’t need it and don’t want to get it like spam.
- InDesign never legged so hard as do it now. Please fix it.

Split “Hyphenate Across Columns” into Separate Options
Please split the current Hyphenate Across Columns option into separate settings:
- Hyphenate Across Columns
- Hyphenate Across Text Frames
- Hyphenate Across Pages
- Hyphenate Across SpreadsThese are different typographic cases. In many layouts, hyphenation only needs to be prevented across spreads, sometimes across pages, while it should remain allowed across columns and text frames.

Split Hyphenate Capitalized Words into Two Separate Options
Please split the current Hyphenate Capitalized Words option into two separate settings:
- Hyphenate ALL-CAPS words
- Hyphenate Words Beginning with a Capital LetterThese are different typographic cases. Acronyms and all-caps abbreviations often should not be hyphenated, while proper names or capitalized words in titles may need normal hyphenation.

The quick color change for a text field should change the cointaining text color.
The quick color change for a text field should change the cointaining text color instead. The text box color control can rely on a button for selection of itself that then changes interaction of quick color controls. ****, put it in place of the OpenType button that is pretty useless to many (I for one ONLY click it accidentaly and it makes me crazy, but that's another ticket).
It's incredibly impressive how simple and intuitive this should be. The logic... This is extremely valuable to me because since text inside InDesign irreversably ceases to be editable once Ctrl+Shift+O (Outline Txt)…

Feature Request: Fill Frame With Placeholder Text
Illustrator features the ability to drag a text block and have it filled with placeholder text. Why doesn’t InDesign have that? In InDesign, we first have to create the text block and then choose Fill With Placeholder Text. Why not mirror what Illustrator does?

Add toggle checkbox in spell checker for "Case Sensitive" so you can turn it off when needed.
There are so many false positives when I use spell check, because it treats everything as a sentence. So all bullet points with uppercase style, every bit of text like websites, "mm" "cm" etc. get flagged for the first letter not being capitalized. I'd like a toggle check box named "Case Sensitive" so that I can uncheck it when working in documents that don't require a check for capitalization. Because not every text box in my document houses a grammatically correct sentence. This will speed up the process for the types of documents that I work on.
